Syria weapons depot blast kills 12 civilians

Syrian opposition activists say an explosion in the country's north has killed at least 18 people and wounded many others. Gen. Suheil al-Hassan, arrived in northern Syria to spearhead what they called the "Dawn of Idlib" operation.

Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor, said the death toll could rise as dozens were still missing.

An AFP correspondent at the site in Sarmada in Idlib province near the Turkish border said the explosion of unknown origin caused two buildings to collapse.

"The explosion occurred in a weapons depot in a residential building in Sarmada", said the head of the Britain-based monitor, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria. The cause of the blast wasn't immediately known.

Rescue workers used bulldozers to clear the rubble and rescue trapped people.
